A newly-released video of a wild altercation at a Texas Waffle House shows an unruly mob of customers attacking workers at the restaurant, berating them with profanity and pelting them with objects including a thrown chair which was expertly batted down by one of the besieged employees, drawing rave reviews on social media.
The action went down last year in Austin at around 4 am when chaos erupted with two women in the restaurant yelling at the staffers for an unknown reason, the situation quickly escalated with the women jumping on top of the counter, with one of them lunging at employees.
A coffee pot was subsequently used to fend off the attackers before things took a turn for the worse with one of the out-of-control customers grabbing a chair and throwing it, an act that could have caused serious bodily injury were it were not for the female Waffle House employee who deftly deflected the projectile.
The video which simply has to be seen to be believed starts with a customer exclaiming, “Bro, what the f*** is going on? Bro… I just want my waffles…”
(Video: The Daily Mail)
Diners fled to safety as the brawl spilled over behind the counter with fists and expletives flying although they continued to watch the no-holds-barred brawl from outside through the windows with some of them also recording the incident on their phones.
Twitter users reacted to the WWF-style action in Austin.

You would have a better chance at fighting an entire prison yard than throwing hands with the one white chick working the Waffle House night shift…pic.twitter.com/kiU6Je5ath

You don’t go behind the Waffle House counter, surefire way to lose teeth. That is their world, they were born to it, molded by it.

She caught a chair flying toward her head with one hand, spinned that shit on her finger like a harlem globetrotter, and deflected it away all in one motion.
She seriously could get the bag as a stunt person or WWE career… something. That was entertaining as fuck.— Josh (@Revuhnant) December 28, 2022
She caught it like it was normal.

An underrated part of this video is the other employee quickly ducking when the chair was thrown. You have to be able to do stunts to work at Waffle House

WTH? Been in Waffle House a thousand times, never saw anything like this. I saw a few customers fight and heard of the infamous Randy Savage one but this is crazy. https://t.co/NljwSHviRN

I know who I want on my side during the zombie apocalypse.

At this point I would have just shut up and left. If I throw a chair at you and you catch it then throw it to the side, with a flourish, I know I’m not big enough to ride that ride.

I like the part where the hippopotamus fell off the counter.

This is filmed better than most Hollywood action sequences. Can someone get this cameraman a job?

It is unclear what prompted the incident or whether alcohol may have been a contributing factor.
